Introduction

Dentures are made in the laboratory by dental lab technicians. They are made with many materials, but the most used is dental-grade plastic acrylic. Artificial teeth are mounted on the dentures, and natural-looking dentures are manufactured. The dentist decides how many teeth a patient requires for the best look and comfort.

If you need dentures, you’re not alone. Millions of Americans rely on them to restore their smiles, improve their chewing ability, and boost their confidence.

But how do you know what is best for you with so many choices, like complete or partial and conventional or implant-supported? Let’s break it all down.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Dentures are designed to fill in any missing tooth and bone area lost previously for any reason.

From the color of the acrylic to the size and color of teeth everything is custom-designed for each patient, and after multiple trials and fit checks, a final denture is made. Dentures come in two main types:

Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Partial Dentures: Replace one or more missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, and titanium posts are surgically placed into your jawbone. This option offers a more secure and permanent solution. Read more about dental implants.

The denture can be fixed to the implant with screws. It can also be removable. In this case, a ball housing is placed on the implants. The denture has sockets that fit into the ball housing. This creates a ball and socket lock to secure the denture.

- Looks and feels more like natural teeth.

- Not suitable for everyone (e.g., those with insufficient bone density).
- More expensive than conventional dentures.
- Requires surgery and a more extended treatment process.

Dentures Types and Advantages

Complete Dentures vs. Partial Dentures

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are ideal for people who have lost all their teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. They consist of a flesh-colored pink acrylic base that fits over your gums, with a complete set of artificial teeth attached.

The dentures need to be removed while you sleep or when you feel strain on your gums. Keeping the dentures clean is essential to prevent any bacterial buildup and smells. Lab cleaning might be needed if your dentist advises on this in your checkup.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cypress Town Dental made my first visit easy and comfortable. The staff was warm, professional, and attentive, and the office was clean and welcoming. My cleaning was only a $50 copay, and I was able to have it done the same day—so convenient! The knowledgeable hygienists clearly care about their patients, and thoughtful touches like the ceiling TV made the experience relaxing. I left feeling informed and confident, and I highly recommend Cypress Town Dental.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Man this place has been great ever since I switched to them. Very professional & not only do they answer all my questions about my dental health but they showed me everything in detail on a screen in the room and have even given me printed out documents that tell me what we discussed for my records. They also were very helpful in the past when explaining pricing. Had really bad experiences at other dental offices and this place has been a breath of fresh air. I can’t recommend them enough.
